<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Pat,</div><div>~40 years ago, when I was operating the Orpheum Theatre on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, CA, across from Tower Records, I tried a very successful experiment by having an unadvertised 'Street Theatre' show underneath my marquee, with fake 'ambient' lighting, no visible microphones or speakers, and no programs, except near a Top Hat that persons placed ''donations' in. It felt like Guerilla Theatre. I did as well financially as if I had sold tickets.</div><div>/s/ Richard</div><div>_________</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 7:09 PM, Jon Ares via Stagecraft <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:stagecraft@theatrical.net" target="_blank">stagecraft@theatrical.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span>On Fri, May 29, 2015 at 6:45 PM, Pat Kight via Stagecraft<br>
